skyfitsboy Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 The BBC also states that the pub was built in 1833: http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/content/articles/2004/09/15/yorkshire_grey_feature.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Originally posted by ceridwen1977 May be it was orginally built in 1833 but then was rebuilt in the 1920s or done up or something - in that way we can all be right Surely that must make it old enough to be a listed building ?

Tony Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Aha! More evidence that I was right(ish)! From tonights Star... built in the late 1930's, though there has been a pub there longer. Link to story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I dunno who said that it wasnt a nice building.. but IMO it is. I cant say Ive ever been drinking in there, and I dont plan to start to be honest! But its certainly not a blot on the landscape like most of the "heart of the city" planned buildings are. I dunno who they employed to design them but whoever it is has no imagination whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrods Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I think it's a real shame that they're trying to pull the Yorkshire Grey down - on the outside it may look a bit ropey, but it's actually ok inside! We've only just discovered it as a decent post-Blades match pub (well, I say discovered, obviously we've always known it's there, but never really gone in before!) Surely any pub (apart from Berlin's) being knocked down for a car park is a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely any pub (apart from Berlin's) being knocked down for a car park is a bad thing? Yeah. especially when it completely contradicts the Council's long running anti car policies in the City Centre.... But meh, when there's pound notes at stake, the Council seem to forget their own policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinp Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Anyone see the report on Look North tonight about it? The council say they will use CPO as a last resort, presumably hoping that the owners will just sell up without a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Wouldn't there be room for a deal somewhere? Like - "We'll sell you our pub, for a good price, on the condition that we get premises in the new development at a discount." I should be a councillor, me.

alienmaria Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 This CPO is typical of the bullying tactics of the Sheffield **itty Council They will resort to anything to achieve their goals while trampeling over everything or anyone in their path For the person who wanted to know what a CPO is, it is a compulsary purchase order... that the court can order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
